[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you go straight to law school, 25 is old enough to have finished a T14 JD and earn $220,000 as a first year associate at a white shoe firm. These numbers are public information.[/quote]

Is going straight to undergrad common?  I just read a few of the Ivies’ law school data on current 1Ls and only 12%-15% of class arrives straight from undergrad, most have at least two years’ work experience.[/quote]

Depends on the school. At Yale, proportion is really small, but around the T14 it probably averages about 30% going straight through, with the majority of those w/ work experience being a year or two.

I personally attend a T14 though and highly recommend any student interested to take at least 1 year off and work the most impressive sounding job they can get. Minor for admission but huge for employment with students with work experience often outperforming others with similar grades in terms of the tier of biglaw firm they get.[/quote]
